[Official] - Milford signs with Broncos

Leaking info could destablise relationship with either club, obvious answer is its Ayoub doing his job trying to fleece more money

Isn't the whole Broncos choosing Nikorima over Milford debatable? I've read several articles discussing that, but also several other articles stating that by the time the Broncos discovered Milford, he was already signed by the Raiders. And the dates don't match up either, as Nikorima was signed at age 15, Milford 13.

What I said is being taken a bit to far. I never mentioned nikorima.

All I was referring to is that a complaint that the raiders didn't offer milf enough in the first instance thereby fracturing any goodwill he had with the raiders is weaker then a complaint about the broncos not chasing him hard (or at all) in the first few instances thereby fracturing the goodwill he had with them.

either way the whole picture is always better then the courier mail one.

Where was there a complaint about the Raiders not offering Milford enough? Weren't they always willing to offer a jumbo sized contract?

I don't think there has been any mention (or complaint) that the Raiders didn't offer Milford enough in the first place. it has been reported that they offered more than the Broncos. I think him signing with us had a great deal to do with location, rather than either the club itself or the money offered.

as for any fracturing of the relationship between Milf and the Raiders, if it has happened then it would have nearly everything to do with him feeling aggrieved that the Raiders didn't honour the "get out" clause (and please lets not start debating that again, no one has any idea of the wording of the clause, so no one knows if the conditions were met or not)
 
If there is one thing I've learnt from this whole debacle, the courier mail is the most ridiculously biased source of broncos propoganda around and we all need to read the Canberra times or whatever honest and fair dunny roll they have floating around Australia's shit hole which I have the miserable misfortune of being at for a large part of the year.

i hope your not being serious ... the Canberra Times and Jon Tuxworth are no better than the Courier Mail, just they favour the Raiders. and Tuxworth is just a fan that clearly hates the Broncos.

I do like the bolded quote from Gee ... maybe a subtle dig at the Raiders

THE Broncos have called for the NRL to scrap the controversial round 13 registration deadline amid fears Canberra are “harassing” Anthony Milford in their $2.7 million retention fight.Milford has signed with Brisbane for next season but the NRL’s delay in rubber-stamping the deal until round 13 is giving Canberra time for a last-ditch counter strike.
Asked if the round 13 rule should be removed and playing contracts registered when a player signs, Broncos operations chief Andrew Gee said: “Yes, that’s the logical thing.”
Now the contract saga is turning ugly.
It is understood that Milford is feeling pressured to stay as key Raiders identities get in his ear in the hope the 19-year-old will backflip on his Broncos deal.
The Maroons Origin hopeful again underlined his importance to Raiders coach Ricky Stuart when he terrorised Souths in Canberra’s 30-18 boilover on Sunday.

Milford signed a two-year deal with Brisbane last November but under NRL guidelines the contract cannot be formalised by the governing body until June 6.
That gives Canberra another 67 days to convince Milford to snub the Broncos by accepting their three-year counter offer that is worth at least $900,000 annually.
In the ultimate irony, Canberra will host the Broncos in round 13 — three days after Milford’s future is determined.
“Canberra have every right to fight for Anthony but it’s not a great rule when a bloke can sign a contract and back out of it,” Gee said.
“We went through this round 13 issue last year with Corey Norman.
“He signed with Parramatta and we could have tried to talk him out of it, but we respected his decision.”

Well at least with Gee coming out about the round 13 rule it should remove any doubt that it wasnt actually removed like some of the propaganda machines wanted everyone to believe:hello:
 
I think there is a tone of desperation coming from Gee there. He must know that if Milf reneges, everyone will be calling for his head again.
